Neither shocking nor awesome. Movies bashing the Iraq War were a hot trend in the Bush era. A few lingered on in the Obama era. But Rob Reiner must have thought that with the #resistance wind at his back, he could keep it going. Shock and Awe is about how everyone should have listened to…

In the media’s frantic downhill race to out-rage each other over Trump, there’s no bottom. Charles M. Blow, the Cory Booker of media columnists, desperately tried to justify his job with this ridiculous column aimed right at the nerve center of the resistance’s id. Its subtle title is, “Trump, Treasonous Traitor”. That’s like a parody…

The left is really doing a fantastic job of embracing the best practices of the “abusive, predatory capitalism” it claims to rally against. WeWork employees get the best North Korean treatment. “No meat for you!” Co-working giant WeWork Cos. thinks it can save the environment quicker than Elon Musk. The startup has told its 6,000…

Sacha Baron Cohen is relaunching his career by going back to the same old shtick he used to launch his career twenty years ago. There’s nothing cutting edge about it. It’s the Rolling Stones in concert yet again. The only reason that anyone is talking about his new show is because he’s going after the…

The media’s misreporting has a pattern. When Israeli civilians get bombed by Hamas, that’s not a story. But when Israel strikes back, suddenly it’s a story. Media headlines blare about Israel strikes on “Gaza”. Mentions that Israel is retaliating are buried several paragraphs down. Mentions of Hamas are kept sparse. Instead the focus is on…

I didn’t think that anything could get the Dems to jettison a terrible leftist idea rooted in identity politics. But bad poll numbers seem to be doing it. House Dems have refused to vote for their own Abolish ICE bill calling it a political stunt. Democrats who drafted a bill to abolish Immigration and Customs…

The imbroglio began when Senator Kamala Harris tweeted that, “Two decades after Brown v. Board, I was only the second class to integrate at Berkeley public schools. Without that decision, I likely would not have become a lawyer and eventually be elected a Senator from California.” Harris appeared to have actually grown up in Montreal.…

Open borders advocates keep telling us that their migrants are coming here for a better life. That’s undoubtedly true. But people have different definitions of what constitutes a better life. For some, a better life involves attacking your wife with a chainsaw. But who are we to question the DREAMs of lefty constituencies? The man…

Ever since Elon Musk criticized the media (a foolish act for a man whose corporate career was built on the media turning his press releases into stories), the media has had it out for him. The latest shocking story about Musk donating to Republicans (Musk donates to both parties) is marked with the same petty…
